A sociaIistic Fizzle.

NoeALEs, A. T., June 16.-A large
number of Topolo Campo colonists re-
turned here from the south yesterday
One of the returned emigrants from the
socialistic colony, who says he sold his
home in Denver, Col, gives a very
gloomy report of the situation at To-
polo Campo. He says the whole scheme
is fraud, and that the men who have
fostered it should be prosecuted. The
people were placed on a dry mesa
where they claim they were compelled
to stay until the water failed and then
were permitted to go to the bay to catch
fish, and the only food was the fish
caught from the bay and boiled in salt
water, and mush. In the start there
were 500 colonists, and now there are
only 100. The sufferings of the colon
lists described by the persons return
ing is OF nature indicating that the
former stories of misery endured by the
cOlOnists, was not overdrawn. To
judge from the stories related by the re-
turning band, the colony has prac-
tIcally collapsed.

Arrest ofan Opium smuggier.

SAN Francisco, June 15.-The custom
Inspectors arrested man, who gave tt e
name of George Conner, as the overland
train on the Central Pacific from the east
reached Oakland to-day. He made a
desperate fight to escape, but was held.
He was turned over to the custody of
the United States marshal, not being
able to give bail. The inspectors went
to the seizure room, where the trunks
were first broken open, and, as was ex-
pected, they had nothing in them but
opium. A count showed that there
were 1856 five-tail boxes, worth some
thing over $1,000. An important dis
covery was in a pocket book. 1t was fl
led with papers, carefully folded and
closely written with Chinese. the
supposition being that they are
instructions, sent by a Hong Kong
syndicate through Canada to this city.
A custom house interpreter will at
once translate them for the information
of the collector. Government de-
tectives claim that the man arrested is
one of the chief agents of the great
opium ring which has been smuggling
opium to Canada, Detroit and San
Francisco.

RINGS FOR THE FINGERS.

OF all the ornaments with which vanity,
superstition, and affection have decorated
the human form, few have more curious
bits of history than the finger ring. From
the earliest times the ring has been a IA
vorite ornament, and the reasons for this
general preference shown for it over other
articles of iewelry are numerous and CO.
gent. Ornaments whose place is on some
portion of the apparel, or in the hair,
must be laid aside with the clothing or
head-dress; are thus easily lost and often
not at once missed. Pins, brooches,
buckles, clasps, buttons, all sooner or
later become defective in some part, and
are liable to escape from an owner uncon-
scious of the defect in the mechanism.
The links Of necklace in time become
worn, and the article is taken off to be
mended; the spring or other fastening of
bracelet is easily broken, and the brace
let vanishes. With regard to ornaments
fastened TO parts of the savage body, mu-
tilation is necessary, the ear must be
bored, the nose pierced, the cheeks or lips
be slit, and, even after these surgical op.
erations are completed, the articles used
for adornment are generally inconvenient,
and sometimes, by their weight or con-
struction, are extremely painful.
In striking contrast with decorations
worn on the clothing, in the hair, round
the neck and arms, or pendant from the
ears, lips and nose, is the finger ring, the
model of convenience. 1t is seldom lost,
for it need not be taken off, requires no
preparatory mutilation of the body, is not
painful, is always in view, perpetual re-
minder, either of the giver or of the pur-
pose for which it is worn.
The popularity OF the ring must, there
fore, be in large measure due to it's con-
venience, and that this good quality was
early learned may be inferred from the
Hebrew tradition, which attributes the
invention of this ornament to Tubal Gain,
the instructor of every srtificer in brass
and iron" -Popular Science Monthly.

BABIES RIGHTS.
Silver Cliff, Co

1
The babies have rights as we'll as
others; and their rights ought to be re-
spected. First of all, baby has right to
the care and protection of his parents; a
right to comfort as well as to mere exis
tence. The parents who have brought
him into this troublesome world are
bound to see that it is no more trouble
some to him than necessity requires.
They should see that he is properly fed
and clothed according to his comfort and
we'll being. not according to their taste
or ease, or convenience. For instance,
baby has right to warm clothing, even
il his neck and arms are prettier uncov-
cred. He has right to fresh air, even if
it is troublesome to take him out. He has
right to the food nature provides for
him, unless this proves injurious to his
health or to that of his mother. He has
right to undisturbed sleep and to smuse-
ment, and if he cries for any of these
things, he has right to cry.
Baby, also, has right to an education,
physical. moral and mental. He should
be taught self-reliance and how to shun
danger. 1t is easy to teach child able
to creep to keep away from the stove, he
very quickly learns to interpret the "no-
no, "and will usually mind. A child almost
constantly in his nurses arms is very
slow to learn to stand or walk, or care for
himself. Some children at three or four
are not trusted near a flight OF stairs,
while other babies of year will go up and
down without harm, for they can be taught
to do it safely. A baby who kept her
mother in terror by creeping to the head
of the stairs with an apparent desire to
go down head first, was taught to turn
round and slide herself down from step
to step, and in a short time she could go
up and down as easily and safely as any
one.
Children are often hindered in pro-
gress by want of self-control in those
about them; for courage or cowardice
may be taught by example. If a mother
shows nervous dread of danger when her

quickly communicated to the child, and
he gives up the attempt. A child natur-
ally fearless will often by example be
come as nervous and hysterical as the
women about him. 1t is an obvious fact
that children are actually taught to cry
over a triaing bump or slight misadven-
ture, by the excessive sympathy ex-
pressed. Children crave, and should
have sympathy, but it should be wisely
given.
Ard baby should be taught good ha.
bits. This can be done at a very early
age. 1t requires an even temper, and
great patience on the part of the mother,
but she is more than repaid by the result;
and the advantage is great to the child
as well as to the parent.-Rhet KunSe, in
Good Housekeeping.

and distinguished writer. This dog has
very interesting tricks. He once had the
sagacity, being in an editorial office, to
devour an entirely original poem, the con-
tribution OF young lady who aspired to
fame as a maker of verse. 1t was explained
to the dog that the verses in question
were not doggeral, but had some merit.
This, however, did not secure from him
the slightest expression of regret. The
principal delight of this animal is to play
the game, SO popular among children, OF
hiding an article and directing the
searchers to it by the words shot" or
"cold." When the dog is told to retire
he goes out of the room with the greatest
alacrity, waits conscientiously with his
back to the open door until he is told to
re-enter, then turns with bound and be-
gins his search. Nothing escapes his at
tention, and. although extremely eager,
he has never been known to overturn
vase or dislodge piece of bric-a-brac.
He follows the suggestions of "hot" or
"cold' as intelligently as child would,
and nothing arouses his indignation SO
much as to be told where the game is to
be found. IL he cannot discover for him.
self, he prefers to try it again, and he has
been known to keep up the search for q
week. and finally to bring the concealed
article with every demonstration of de-
light to his msster.-Christian Union.

SAGACITY OF BRUTES.

The Spectator was the frequent COM
panion, during the summer, of several
small fishermen and fsherwomen who
angled patiently for the little minnows
swimming in schools along the shores
of the lake. He was often entertained
on these excursions by an extremely OBJ
serving and calculating cat, who made it
her business to watch the children and
fishing poles, and whenever the two came
together she never failed to take the hint
and accompany the young sportsmen to
the scene Of action. Arriving on the field
of action, she remained in the back
ground, and whenever tiny fish was
caught and flung impatiently behind the
fishermen, she Immediately pounced
upon it as her rightful perquisite. That
there was ceI tain amount of reasoning
back of these performances is evident,
and those Spectators who are fortunate
enough to have animals as their compsn-
ions know that such exhibitions are by no
means uncommon. An acquaintance of
the Spectators, who was sportsman of
experience and skill, as in the habit of
going down from London to a locality
where he found very good shooting. 1t
sometimes happened that he found him.
self in this neighborhood without his dog.
In such an event he telegraphed to his
servant at home; cab was called and the
dog placed in it; arriving at the station
the dog was liberated. and made his own
way through the crowds until he found
the station master, to whom he conveyed
unmistskable knowledge Of his presence.
The station master, by previous arrange
ment, thereupon procured and attached
to his collar ticket for the station where
his master was awaiting him. He was
then put in compartment, and, arriving
at the station, was put off by the guard.
Instead of going to the shooting-box
where his master was lodged, he would
go first to the public inn and pay his re-
spects to the innkeeper, who was a warm
personal friend; after which discharge of
personal courtesies he would make his
way to his master. After the shooting was
over, in case his master did not wish to
return to London, thedog was frequently
sent back in the same way, and this was
repeated many times.

THE OWL.

Owls are, almost without exception.
nocturnal in their habits, and their form
and structure is adapted to their life.
Their eyes are so made as to take in
every ray of light, and are extremely sem
sitive to the glare of daylight, as every
one knows who has seen the pitiable way
in which an owl will blink when exposed
to it. The owl is not songster, though
Gilbert White says in his Selbourne that
a certain friend of his tried the voices of
the owls in his neighborhood, and found
that they all hooted in B fiat. Frank
auckland, an English naturalist, gives
an owl-call which he learned from jagd-
meister in Germany. 1t is made thus:
bend up all the fingers of the right
hand, clasp them tight with the fingers
of the left, leaving a hollow; crook the
two thumbs SO as to leave crack; blow
sharp into the hollow. The call will act
better il the hands are wetted." Owls
are extremely useful in clearing out mice
and other small vermin. The owl like
the hawk, throws up, in the form of pei
let's, the hair, feathers and bones, of the
creatures he has eaten. or our American
owls. the burrowing owl may be men
toned as most interesting. It lives har-
moniously with the prairie dog, and into
their underground habitation the rattle
snake often intrudes, and together they
form happy family Of three. Owls nest
in holes, sometimes in deep holes in
trees. English boys have an ingenious
way Of getting at the young birds in these
holes. They roll up wooden stocking
in loose ball, and by means of a string
bob it up and down above the young
owls. The owl chicks naturally turn on
their backs and attack it with their claws,
and are not able to disentangle them.
So the boys draw them out easily. They
are rather amusing pets.
